In 1835, when he was 20, Daniel married 18 year-old Mary McDonald, daughter of Alexander McDonald, hotel keeper in Glasgow and Janet, nee Fleck. Children followed soon after with John in 1837, Janet in 1839, Alexander in 1841, Duncan in 1843, Margaret in 1847 and Mary in 1850. <sup>[1] [2] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In the 1841 census, the first to be retained by the National Records of Scotland, Daniel, then 25 was living at Meigle with Mary and the three eldest children. At the time, he cites his occupation as shoemaker and they have two visitors staying with them; a shoemaker and a young girl aged 10. <sup>[2.1]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Ten years later, the family are still living at Meigle. All of the children have now been born, with the youngest, Mary, just one year old. Daniel gives his occupation as master shoemaker and his 14 year old son, John, has also become a shoemaker. Janet, Alexander and Duncan are still at school. Again they have another shoemaker staying with them, this time a James Gallacher (jouneyman).\u00a0 Note: A journeyman is skilled in a given trade or craft and has successfully completed an official apprenticeship. <sup>[2.2] [3]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>By 1855, we see that Daniel is renting a workshop at <strong>Springbank<\/strong> (a block of shops and houses on the seaward side of Shore Road, north of where Meadow Place will soon be built) and by the time of the 1861 census, he and the family have also moved to <strong>Springbank<\/strong>. We note that Daniel is no longer just a shoemaker, he has added grocer to his occupation.\u00a0 His son John is now a fully qualified (journeyman) shoemaker and is presumably working in his father\u2019s workshop. Janet and Duncan are shopkeeper grocers. Whilst the census does not include commercial properties, we\u2019re told that Daniel also occupies a shop and bakehouse at Springbank. <sup>[4] [2.3] [5] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The same census shows that there is now a building, called Pier Head situated between <strong>Halketburn <\/strong>(bottom of the Hydro steps) and <strong>Springbank<\/strong>. This building has 2 houses, (5 rooms each) and probably includes shops, although they\u2019re not listed here. As one of the two families living there, are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/people-of-local-interest\/henry-watson-family\/\"><strong>Watson Family<\/strong><\/a>, it is probably safe to assume that this building will become <strong>Eglinton Place<\/strong><em>. <\/em><sup>[2.3]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In October 1863, the Earl of Eglinton and Winton assigned to Daniel Campbell \u201can area of ground to the west side of the public road, leading along the shore from Greenock to Largs\u201d on the express condition that he should build in the space of two years, \u201ctwo dwelling houses or blocks of building each of two storeys in height towards the public road, with two shops on the ground floor of each block and each of the said two dwelling houses or blocks to be forty feet or thereby in length fronting the said public road and each of not less value than \u00a3700 sterling\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0There were two further conditions of relevance; the buildings must conform to the Plans and Elevations which have been prepared by William Railton, architect, (not of Nelson\u2019s Column fame) and only the trades of a baker and shoemaker, may be carried out on the premises. <sup>[6] <\/sup><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>The Daniel &amp; Mary Campbell years (1865 \u2013 1891)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>By 1865, Meadow Place is finished and is wholly owned by Daniel Campbell.

The building is still wholly owned by Daniel Campbell.\u00a0 There are three houses, each of six rooms (with one or more windows). <sup>[8.1] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In the first house, Charles Loudon, parcel deliverer, lives with his wife Ann Loudon, his 19 year old niece, Catherine McLean and his 16-year old nephew, James McLean. James also gives his occupation as parcel deliverer. The Loudons have two lodgers; William Hay, a policeman born in Inverness and Robert Cameron, a baker, born in Greenock.\u00a0 <sup>[8.1] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The second house, is home to Daniel Campbell and family. Daniel is now 56 and his occupation is grocer. Living with him is Mary his wife now 55, Janet now 31, Maggie 23 and Mary 21. The Campbells have one boarder, John Easton, 15, an apprentice baker. <sup>[8.1] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The third house is occupied by the Orrs. James Orr, aged 36, born in Ireland is a marine insurance broker. His wife Katherine, aged 24 was born in Bengal, India. They also have a daughter Katherine, aged 4, born in Glasgow. Living with them are two servants; Isabella McKellar, aged 22, cook\/domestic servant and Agnes Johnston, aged 21, table maid. <sup>[8.1] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Daniel Campbell, had only about 7 years to enjoy his new house as he died at home in 1872, aged 58. Interestingly, his occupation on the\u00a0 death certificate reverts to shoemaker.\u00a0 The death is informed by his son, Alex Campbell. <sup>[1] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Following Daniel\u2019s death, Meadow Place with all its properties, passes to his wife Mary, Liferentrix (a Scots Law term meaning a woman who enjoys the rent from a property for her life). By 1875, Mary Campbell, then aged 58 appears to be running a shop, the bake house as well as a shop on <strong>Skelmorlie Pier<\/strong>, presumably with the help of her family.\u00a0 Charles Loudon, who was previously renting one of the shops appears to have died and Mrs Loudon has taken over the house and shop. <sup>[7.2] <\/sup><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1465\" style=\"width: 619px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1465\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-1.jpg\" alt=\"Meadow Place 1875\" width=\"609\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-1.jpg 609w, https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-1-300x56.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-1-450x83.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meadow Place 1875<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Six years later, in 1881, the Snodgrass family have taken over the lease from Mrs Loudon;\u00a0 John, aged 20, merchant and flour miller, his wife, Janetta, aged 22, his brother James, 29, also merchant and flour miller, his sister-in-law, 24, an accountant and a domestic, Margaret Smith. Around the same time,\u00a0 a Robert Cameron, his wife Margaret and young family have taken on the lease of the bake house, shop and house. Meanwhile, Mary Campbell continues to live in the third house with three of her now grown-up children; Duncan, 37 Iron Founder and Engineer, Maggie, 30 and Mary, 28, the latter both giving their occupations as Accountant.\u00a0 The Campbells also have a family of three visiting. Note: The number of rooms in the Campbells house has now increased from 5 to 8. <sup>[8.2] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>By 1885, although the building continues to be held by Daniel\u2019s Trustees on behalf of Mary, the configuration has changed to provide additional accomodation and shops. The Campbell family still live in one of the houses ( 8 rooms). A Robert Raphael has taken over the grocer\u2019s shop and associated house.\u00a0 Jane Wilson, milliner, has a shop and one room house and Mrs Cameron, now widow, has taken on the lease of the bakehouse,\u00a0 shop and associated house (4 rooms). Additionally, \u00a0there is now a shoemaker shop run by James McAulay, a fruiterer run by Michael Daly and one empty shop.\u00a0 Mrs Campbell continues to manage the coach house, stable and wash house<em>. <\/em><sup>[7.3] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The 1891 census gives us a similar picture, apart from one of the houses is now rented by a Thomas Donald, Property Agent, his wife and young family. Four years later, the grocer has become a James Maxwell Parkhill and the Fruit Shop has gone. Instead, there are two new shops; one rented by a Dr David Fotheringham and a watchmaker\u2019s shop, run by a Robert Paton. The stables have been split and are rented by the bake house and grocer. <sup>[8.3][7.4] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Further investigation shows that James Maxwell Parker, the new grocer, is actually related to the family through marriage. In April 1871, Janet, the eldest daughter of Daniel and Mary, married James Parkhill, commercial traveller, at the Established Church of Scotland in Skelmorlie. For the next 15 years or more, the couple appear to have lived in Greenock and had four daughters; Mary in 1874, Isabella in 1876, Jessie in 1878 and Margaret in 1883. \u00a0At the time of the 1891 census, the family are living next door at 1 Eglinton Place, whilst renting the grocers shop at Meadow Place. <sup>[8.1][8.2][8.3][9] <\/sup><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Misses Margaret and Mary Campbell (1891 \u2013 1940)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>That same year, Mary (McDonald) Campbell, died at home, aged 79. Her son Duncan, by then living in Glasgow, was Informant.\u00a0 From looking at the next set of records, it appears that the whole building at Meadow Place was left to two of her daughters, Margaret &amp; Mary Campbell. <sup>[1] [8.4] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>By 1905, apart from the change of ownership to the Misses Campbells, much was the same at Meadow Place. Margaret and Mary were still living in one of the houses above the shops and the other two houses were let. James Parkhill, continues to run the grocer\u2019s shop but now appears to be renting the associated house. Mrs Cameron is still at the bakery and James Macaulay continues to run the shoemaker. \u00a0However, Mrs Lavinia Campbell, draper, appears to have taken over from Mrs Wilson, milliner and a Daniel McInnes, plumber has moved into the workshop and office. The big change however, is that Skelmorlie now has a bank, with the Clydesdale Bank opening offices at Meadow Place (north end) just after the turn of the century. <sup>[7.5]<\/sup><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1467\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1467\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-3.jpg\" alt=\"Meadow Place 1905\" width=\"600\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-3-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-t-3-450x155.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meadow Place 1905<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ten years later, the building at Meadow Place continues to be owned by Margaret and Mary Campbell and they still live in one of the upstairs flats.

Three of his daughters (Margaret and Mary\u2019s nieces); Mary, Isabella and Jessie Parkhill, are renting one of the other houses.\u00a0 The drapers, bank and plumbers stay the same but the shop, bakehouse, house and stable have been taken over by John Ure Young who also has a bakery in Inverkip. <sup>[10.1]<\/sup><em> \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1460\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1460\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-a.jpg\" alt=\"John Ure Young.\" width=\"200\" height=\"149\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Ure Young.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Around the end of WW1, the grocer\u2019s shop was replaced by a chemist, with an Archibald Brownlie as dispenser.

The other change is at the shomakers, where John Macaulay, is replaced firstly by a George Paterson, bootmaker and then a few years later by a Robert Davidson, bootmaker. <sup>[10.2][10.3]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Early, in 1930, Margaret Campbell died aged 77, leaving Meadow Place property to her sister, Mary.

At the chemist, William Brownlie, father of Archibald, who\u2019d been the named tenant for the previous ten years, is replaced by Hugh Hutchison, who also rents a second house in the building. A Miss Jessie Reid takes over the draper\u2019s shop, the plumber\u2019s shop is taken over by Morrison and Scott and a space is taken by Ayr County Council for local storage of tools.

With no children of their own, Meadow Place was left to Isabella Bennie Parkhill and others. The title deeds do not tell us who the \u2018others\u2019 are. <sup>[6]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In November 1938, Archibald McNicol Brownlie, 51, the original pharmacist, purchased the southern half of Meadow Place on the condition that the gable wall between the two basement flats was reinstated once the then lease expired. He in turn transferred part of the building; a shop, house and cellars to Jessie Reid, draper (the then tenant) who continued to run the shop and live there. <sup>[6]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>We learn from the 1940 valuation roll, that Archibald Brownlie is renting out both houses in the southern block; one to Janet Grieve (widow) and the other to an Anthony McLeod, retired. Jessie still owns and is living in her shop\/property and that the northern block is still in the hands of the trustees, presumably until they find a buyer. Of these properties, the bootmaker, tool house and bank continue to be rented and operate as before. The bakery, bake house and one of the workshops are empty. The flats &amp; houses on that end of the building are all let. <sup>[10.6]<\/sup><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Living memory (1940 onwards) <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Official records (valuation rolls) have not been released beyond 1940, so our story of Meadow Place now relies on the memories of some of our \u2018locals\u2019. <sup>[12]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>We assume that the Clydesdale Bank bought the bank building and house\/flat above, from the trustees. From 1939 until 1959, the house\/flat was let to Mr and Mrs Peter Shepherd as the then bank manager, Mr Lennox lived locally in Wemyss Bay and didn\u2019t require it. The Shepherds had three children; Matt, Bill and Frances.\u00a0 Bill and Frances (now Frances Nicol), still live in the village today.<sup> [12]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Mr Leonard Cummings became bank manager in the 1970s. He was an authority on Mount Stuart and retired to Rothesay around 1984. He was succeeded by Mr Peter Kelso, who retired in 1990. <sup>[12]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The Bank then became part-time until it finally closed in late 1990s. It was during this &#8216;part-time&#8217; period, that two bank robberies occurred. <sup>[12] [13]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In April 1990, two armed robbers, stole \u00a36,000 and escaped on a motor cycle. They were duly caught and received jail sentences in 1991. \u00a0Less than two years later, on 20<sup>th<\/sup> February 1992, when the bank was staffed by three ladies, another intimidating robbery occurred. Two masked men, carrying a handgun and imitation shotgun, burst in, threatened the staff, jumped over the counter and stole in excess of \u00a320,000. Barbara Redford, one of the staff members on duty at the time recalled \u201cIt was a very harrowing experience for the staff\u201d. Fortunately, as before, the thieves were caught and prosecuted and the money recovered. <sup>[12] [13]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Jessie Reid, who\u2019d bought the shop and house next door to the chemist, in 1938, continued to own both until she sold to the Davidson Brothers in 1960. In the intervening years, Jessie and her sister, moved with the times and transformed the outlet from draper in the 1930s, to what we are told was a \u201cvery fashionable, upmarket dress shop\u201d when it closed. <sup>[12] <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>By 1982, Meadow Place essentially comprised two main houses occupying the first floor and attic of the building (one accessed from the south and the bank house\/flat from the north), \u00a0a basement\/ garden flat accessed from the rear and four shops with storage and cellar space running the breadth of the building. The shops at the time, (south to north), were a pharmacy\/chemist shop, a TV repair business (Davidson Brothers), a post office (run by the Farishes) and the Clydesdale Bank. <sup>[12]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>That year, Mr Brian Spence bought the pharmacy and the house above, from the then pharmacist, Jeanette Smith. Approximately, a year later, he also purchased the Davidson\u2019s shop and used the space to expand the pharmacy. <sup>[12]<\/sup><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1461\" style=\"width: 288px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1461\" class=\" wp-image-1461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-b.jpg\" alt=\"Skelmorlie Post Office after Clydesdale Bank closure.\" width=\"278\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-b.jpg 596w, https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-b-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skelmorlievillas.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meadow-place-b-450x257.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1461\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skelmorlie Post Office after Clydesdale Bank closure.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The chemist, post office and bank continued as the three outlets until the late 1990s when the local doctors decided to open an additional surgery in Wemyss Bay.

The existing premises were converted into two houses at ground floor level and two garden flats, accessed from the rear. These together with his own house, first floor and the attic (which he\u2019d converted some years before), were sold in 1999. <sup>[12]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>After the Clydesdale closed, planning permission was granted to convert the bank building into 3 flats\/houses. <sup>[12]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>This just left the post ofice, which had been opened in 1940 in the old bakery premises.
